Q. I’ve never done anything like this before, do I need to get in better shape before I start your program?
A. Absolutely not! The best way to get good at the movements we teach and practice, is to learn and practice them. Watch this video!
Q. I have been looking at a lot of your workouts and I’m pretty sure I couldn’t do most of it. Is this program for beginners too, or is it just for elite athletes looking for an edge?
A. Our programming is designed to be infinitely scalable. The way an elite level athlete trains and the way an elderly woman trains should be different only in degree, not in kind. Meaning, everyone learns and practices the major lifts: deadlift, squat, clean & jerk, snatch, etc. The only difference will be in the amount of weight, reps and intensity. Everyone will be challanged at their own personal level and not at some pre-determined elite level. In short, this program will greatly benefit anyone looking to improve their level of fitness and overall quality of life regardless of age, gender or current physical capacity. Watch this video!
Q. I currently have or have had an injury. Can I still do CrossFit?
A. Many people who have been in this situation have successfully used CrossFit to rehabilitate from minor injuries. Because people continue to move, work, and play in the real world regardless of injury history, we believe the best route to long-term health is to learn perfect form on functional movements, then to slowly build strength in those movements, rather than to avoid them altogether. At the same time, our coaches are always happy to work with you to scale and substitute exercises, to tailor workouts to your abilities. That said, we cannot offer you specific medical advice, and advise that you consult your physician before starting this (or any other) exercise program.
Q. How do I start?
A. Read the Start Here tab.
Q. What kind of payments do you accept?
A. Cash, check, American Express, Discover Card, Visa and Mastercard. If you own a farm or a garden, we will gladly exchange our services with a stocked refrigerator at all times. I’m very serious about that.
Q. Is there anything I need to do before I come to my first class?
A. Yes, drink lots of water! Most people run around in a constant state of dehydration. You’ll not only be able to get more out of your workout if you’re properly hydrated, you’ll just feel a lot better overall. So drink up!
Q. Should I eat anything before I come in for a workout?
A. You don’t want to go for the barnyard buster at Cracker Barrel right before you come out, but you do want something in your system for energy. If you eat a full meal before coming in, make sure it’s at least an hour before hand. Otherwise grab a piece of fruit and eat it on the way over for some energy to get you through your workout.
